The recent leak of images of Princess Leonor during her stay in Chile has set off alarm bells in the House of the King.
The photographs, taken in a private context while the heir to the throne was visiting a shopping mall, have caused concern in Zarzuela, where they fear that this episode could lead to a growing media persecution.
Spanish Royal Family Alarmed by Leonor’s Photo Leak
Leonor’s trip to Chile was part of her military training, a program that takes her to different activities inside and outside Spain.
However, what was supposed to be a discreet outing with colleagues ended up becoming a source of controversy after the dissemination of the images.
“It is an unnecessary sensationalism,” sources commented to Monarquia Confidencial.
The concern in the King’s House not only lies in the violation of the princess’s privacy, but also in the possible repercussions this could have on public perception and relations with Chile.
The images of the princess quickly went viral in social networks and the media, generating debate about the limits between the private life of royalty and the right to information.
Some analysts argue that the young woman’s media exposure could become more intense in the coming years, as she assumes a more visible role in the monarchy.
In Zarzuela, the issue is being followed closely, aware that situations like this could affect not only Leonor, but also the stability of the institution.
The leak occurs at a key moment for the princess, who is in the process of training and building her public image.
Despite the commotion, sources close to the King’s House insist that Leonor continues with her agenda without alterations and focused on her commitments.
“There are situations that are going to be inevitable and you have to adapt,” the sources reveal.
However, this episode highlights the challenges faced by the royal family in the digital era, where privacy is increasingly difficult to protect.
